Salisbury was a millionaire explorer and author whose stories of his explorations of the South Seas Pacific Islands were frequently published in National Geographic magazine. He spent eighteen months exploring the New Hebrides Islands where head-hunting and cannibalism were still practiced by some tribes. Footage shot by Salisbury was edited together to create the film "Gow". Throughout this brochure, Gow is referred to as the name of a tribal leader, but according to Salisbury, "gow" was the native word for the practice of head-hunting.The brochure is illustrated with many pictures of the tribesmen and their families, their huts and their boats, as well as with a portrait of Salisbury and a view of Salisbury and his companions sitting with the tribe. Pages 2 and 3 present accounts of the cannibal tribes and biographical information about Salisbury, as well as reviews of his film. The fourth side is devoted to more photographs of the tribe.James B. Pond was the son of nineteenth-century American impresario Major James B. Pond and arranged numerous engagements for visiting performers, authors and explorers.‎

‎Random House Australia, Sydney, 2008. First Edition, Softcover. Very Good Condition. Powerful and relentless, the hunger pursues you like a wild beast without respite. You can resist it for hours, even days, but it eventually overwhelms your reason with its desperate desire to be satisfied. Eat or be eaten-that was the terrible choice facing the eight convict bolters from Macquarie Harbour, Australia's most remote and brutal penal colony. Lost and starving after a week in a wilderness no white man had ever crossed, order breaks down when one finally gives voice to their secret thoughts, "I could eat a piece of a man." Soon betrayal, lies, and murder reign and the convicts start to fear each other more than the spears of the Aborigines. Who'll be served next? Will any of them reach the settled areas alive? Bloodlust is the story of this terrible journey as seen through the eyes of Irishman Alexander Pearce, who discovers what happens when men are pushed past their limits and what lies in the dark shadows beyond.– rear panel blurb The author mixes archive, history, and the power of imagination to bring Australia's darkest and most controversial legend to life.
